Our new 18:58.2

[Tucker]

hi guys as this it my first post I'd thought start out by saying I've just ordered our new 18:58.2 upgrading from a swan outback which is now for sale only 3 months old but just not enough room for the family so now can't wait to get deliver to plan our next holiday

22litres so enough for two showers if you do the wet down, turn off tap and soap up, then the wash down trick......and that's with one of those people who simply must wash hair.

And .....:welcome:

I have found with the shower that you can't use it as fast as it heats it.
Last time we were away we had a line up for the shower and none of them were quick splashes.
kid one then kid two then me and then the wife jumped in and washed her hair, I had a giggle to myself thinking that she would have ended up getting the cold shower but to my surprise she said it was still hot.
I rate them better than most caravan park showers (but with a little less flow rate)

 

[Tucker]

Thanks guys for the shower feedback
I don't think I have been on a forum where everyone is so helpful
Cheers

 

[Dobbie]

We aim to please!

When you try out your shower we'll expect a report!

I agree with the comment about being better than most park showers....and they're closer.

:bathbaby:

Ps just avoid crusty if he decides to park near you.....it's not a pretty sight and some here are still trying to get over it.

 

[Tucker]

Thanks will do in both cases

welcome to the forum @Tucker
heaps of great people here with a genuine passion for their Vans and camping

never be afraid to ask a question if you dont know something, you will get more answers than you thought was possible
(and some are even useful )

have you done your "Pre-start" where you pick your colours and fabric's yet..............?
if not, lots to add to the list, so they are all "built in" as long as you have the coin for it
most can be done at a latter date, so no stress if you have

 

[Tucker]

thanks again to all the help
But I have another question
I want to put a external light above the outside shower but at what hight or left or right of the shower
Thanks in advance

Congrats!

They're a great layout !!
We usually get two good showers from one cycle then never really seamed to wait too long for the water to reheat maybe 10 /15 on gas. Heats super quick on gas and 240, only tried this once at home as we are very rarely anywhere near 240.
